Ttalk:
Double jeopardy

You will lose some entitlement in Nass and also lose your political relevance as Northern Senators chairman.

You have always been a controversial politician just like Ali Ndume when you were in HoR in the 7th Assembly.

Now your cup is full and your disgraced shall be permanent.

Ndume your dossier will soon be full when the list of Boko haram sponsors eventually gets to the ppublic

You can not loose entitlement in NASS, it already been concluded by the supreme court that you cannot prevent an elected official from doing the duty his constituents have elected him to do.

We saw this with Dino Malaye and Ndume, you can only remove him from committees etc but you can't prevent him from plenary

Elzazzi:


Notwithstanding why didn’t you guys report the case. Since he was killed unjustly

I'm only responding to the post about the cessation of sars

In Nigeria a good number of uninformed ignoramauses will say crypto is a scam, and will hail the govt for banning Binance, in sane climes with sensible people they are making loads of cool money trading and dealing in cryptocurrency.

This country and its people are too backward and archaic in their thinking.

Cryptocurrency is effectively banned in many countries. It's only lack of formal employment that would make someone dependent on crypto as a source of funds or an investment

MrBrownJay1:




in some countries like Brasil, yes i had to put it in a bin next to the loo, as it is very normal to do there, but elsewhere i always flush it down and never had any issue whatsoever. been using wipes for more than 10yrs now, there are wipes in each and every toilets in my house.

Do not flush baby wipes or any type of wipes in the down the toilet. It caused the drainage to block and causes flooding and all sorts of issue. Also if the wate goes to a treatment plant they cause all sorts of issues for the machinery and the flow channels

Elzazzi:


A Sars officer electrocuted your cousin and even killed him just like that ? I thought Sars has been dissolved. But didn't you guys take any legal action?

Sars only got desolved circa October/November 2020

FG does not set fees for universities

FG subsidize fees which in essence ensures the prives are fixed. I do know how the university system works but we all know it is not independent of government policy

Kukutenla:

What is DG?

Meant to type FG. The government currently over subsidize fees

Kukutenla:

Who is setting fees for universities presently?
Another ignoramus
You know it's not by force to type right?

DG shouldn't set fees for universities, they effectively currently do. State governors were seen also arbitrarily set fees and then reduce it when there is some push back.

Kukutenla:

When? Did you read the Op or you're just an empty barrel
The launch has been postponed thrice while most schools have increased their fees already.
Do you know universities now charge up to 500k per session now?
How will you even know when you're still living under your parents

The FG should hands off the universities and only appoint a supervisory board which they already do. Let the universities set their fees and that would encourage excellence and everyone would find their level.

The ministry of education, the supervisory board and citizen protection agency should ensure the fees are reasonable and achievable

The student loans scheme should only be used for higher institutions within the sovereign entity of Nigeria. If any students want to study abroad they are open to find alternative funding from a commercial entity.
The student loan plan should hopefully impact the university system I expect the FG releases control of federal institutions so they can fund themselves and FG can appoint a supervisory board to secure the interests of the nation as concerns education.

If the loan is extended to study abroad it would only be inappropriate. Universities should be encouraged to partner with other institutions abroad so exchange programs are accessible to the students who want to expand their scope.

But the loan SHOULD NOT be available for students abroad or diaspora individuals.

maivd:
This is wrong,government should be able to come to an arrangement instead of demolition.

You can't come to an arrangement on a structure sitting on a water canal.

The many other residents who suffer millions in property damage and the other issues yearly from flooding too need to be considered

I think it's really people taking advantage of the ridiculously high rates. I know many people who just transferred large sums to Nigeria just because, k didn't number for times myself.

I expect these to decrease once the FX starts to drop

No respect again for the same religion they all profess at that side.

What makes you think bandits are Muslim or Christian.

Many of the migrating individuals who have gone into banditry are animists this is rather well known.

PO & Obidients will be attacked now. Just watch.

Our neigbours and brothers from the East are the true Definition of one Nigeria. They voted massively for Obasanjo, yaradua, GEJ .

When it is time to employ and vote for them, the tribalist and their haters call them Ipob

They voted for PDP, I fact they voted against the SW in 1999 because everyone knew that the SW didn't want OBJ. They voted for Yar'Adua and GEJ wholesale in 2007, 2011 & 2015, retained their voting partern in 2019 and then went and voted 95% Peter Obi in 2023 but the SW are the tribal ones. A place where no single candidate has ever gotten more than 55-60% of the votes. Not even Buhari or Tinubu ever hot more than 60% of the votes in the SW not even Olu Falae got more than 60% and that was meant to be the Yoruba choice on6 1999

Fujiyama:


^^^
Fair point about people keeping their hands off police and soldiers in countries where the system works. But Its a 2 way street: in those places you don't touch a police officer or a soldier in uniform and the police or soldiers too do not cross their boundaries. In fact the rule in those places is that people don't touch anyone except they have a very good reason (i.e. self defence) to do so.

Our problem here is that the whole system has broken down and lawlessness and impunity has taken over completely. Soldiers shoot and kill innocent people at will - because they know there will be no consequences - and civilians harass and rough handle soldiers and police in uniform.

We have to start afresh.

Bros I've dealt with police in many different countries and to be fair they are all corrupt.

The Nigerian police are just frustrated and corrupt. Police frequently beat people up once arrested. They'll keep you in a cold cell, no even try metropolitan police for London, those guys are a bunch of sadists, rapists and at least two of them been sentenced for serious manslaughter crimes in recent years

crossfm:
Hehehe.

See how calm headed the soldier was,if it were to be in the south he would have killed somebody.

Nigeria is a true representation of the novel Animal Farm. All animals are equal, but some are more equal .

I repeat,if you are from the southern part of Nigeria, please don't try this.

No be for this same South some people dey kill soldiers in East daily. Or no be south them slap soldier and police recently and the man held his calm from.

To be honest Nigerians overstep their bounda. You touch a police officer in the slightest any where in the world and you are getting done for assault of a person in uniform straight away no questions.

OlujobaSamuel:

You see why you need to listen to other news outside politics, a news that was online just about 2wks ago is what you can't even verify.
A quick Google check would have given you the evidence

Forget news online we are speaking of first hand experience. Proper trading corps honour their invoice. If there is a large repetitive supply contracts and there must be adjustments due to inflation they would notify you and bring you to the table to renegotiate the cost where necessary, they also have clauses in the agreement on how to terminate and some have clauses on price adjustments.

Changes are not arbitrary or do evince an invoice has been made within less than 2hrs.

The government has a duty to fight FX fluctuations and hyper inflation but there must be an effort from traders to understand their product, understand the market and fix prices it can change everyday but can't change mid or after transactions.

OlujobaSamuel:

No credible business like?
Cement industry do same, Poultry, Beverages (Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic), eg, recent price increase by Nigerian Brewery Plc, you can google that memo they sent to their distributors online (it's a public document), etc.
We are only emotional because of the economic crisis the nation is facing, business has little to do with morals and more of self centeredness, you protect your interest first before that of customer, forget the doctrine "customer is king", it's just ego massage, every businesses protect itself first before any customer

I can't speak of poultry business because there are a great many cowboys there but I know for a fact that cement factories and Beverage companies honour their agreements which has been placed in an invoice. What is in the invoice is what is paid they don't make an attempt to extract more funds from the receiver once the invoice/contract has been drawn up. If there is any need for change they would notify the consumer and it would only go into effect on the next shipment not on the shipment that has already been invoiced.

Some of use have done business with Nigerian breweries etc you can't be telling silly likes on line

OlujobaSamuel:

Book birds from Chi or feeds from Top feed make Dem msg you sey price don change, then you should tell them you can't pay new price

If I have received an invoice my goods would arrive as agreed. No credible business would ever dare even suggest such a thing.

Her first foray into fraudulently eliciting money from unsuspecting donors is from end sars. It's a simple trick and there seems to be an endless river of willing victims

Okeigbobaze:
Renowned clergyman Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Prophet Odumeje, has declared his intention to address the challenges facing Nigeria, citing economic hardships and the need for justice. In a recent sermon, he emphasized that he will commence his efforts by visiting the Presidential Villa in Abuja, asserting that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not the president of Nigeria. Prophet Odumeje expressed his determination to spread his message across the nation, starting with his visit to Aso Rock as he vowed to use one of his powers in Aso Rock.

If Tinubu is not the president wetin he want find go ask rock. No be VI that grengo dey live !

Don't learn how a market operates then jump into it maybe you won't get your fingers burnt

You're talking about market when the items in contention have been paid for and the ownership as a consequence has been transferred to me. You're thereby obstructing me from taking control of my property.

All these illiterate container boys sha, after you serve for 10 years this nah wetin you learn come.

Move closer come collect knock for head

Jeon:


Rape is rape, be it gang or single raped in a private area. Or its been done by a single man.

So there is no different between Indian and Nigerian rapists.

I'm talking about the subconscious concern. There is a duty of state to reduce or eliminate crime but when a certain crime becomes prevalent or the commitance of said crime is casual then there is major societal concern

nedekid:

Do you know how much of your money entered that refinary? Part of the reason Nigerians are suffering right now is that place. Aside the official over $3b Nnpc paid to dangote as equity to ensure crude is refined for local consumption, that place was financed with cheap, lower than cbn rate dollars from cbn. Practically all the forex was given to dangote while other busineses and industries suffered scarcity. Dangote practically ruined Nigeria, but the hope was that ultimately, the country will rip the fruits of it investments through stopping importation of petroleum products.
Where are we now? Dangote has started the place and he is focusing on exports, over 8m barrels of products exported without first servicing local demand or atleast easing the suffering.

And the Nigerian people through their stake in NNPCL, CBN and other agencies who have a position in the refinery (I believe 20%) would continue to benefit the returns of these investments into the national treasury.

The issue I have is the underhand dealings of tye CBN and the FX issued for the construction of the refinery so mush is clouded in mystery.

OlujobaSamuel:

Seems you are not aware that contract are sometimes renegotiated, one of the reasons for abandoned project litters around is because some are going through renegotiation phase with the govt due to inflation or forex fluctuations

Contracts are renegotiated on the agreement of both parties and one party can not compel another into a contract renegotiation under force or duress when the existing one has not lapsed or been broken by either party.

The buyer here if he has made full payment under the "verbal" understanding that the price has been negotiated and accepted can not be forced into a renegotiation. He for all intents and purposes is the owner of the doors even if an invoice has not been issued. The invoice would only strengthen his case as an undeniable evidence. The seller would then have to prove that he did issue the invoice under duress

OlujobaSamuel:

No be only jail, na prison, una just love to dey throw words around anyhow

I can't facilitate a prison when I'm not the judge but I can help the DPO see you into a jail cell pending when the magistrates grants you bail

shoodboi2:


How does that relate with what I said?

The tax situations are peculiar, corporate tax liabilities take a different route.

And I don't expect Dangote who is now a major international player who's now trying to extend his reach to the international stage to be fully tax domiciled in Nigeria.

You'll need to understand the one major advantage of the Dangote refinery is sovereign guarantee in the car Nigeria needs to secure products locally, security and logistical in the case we enter into a conflict and are under sanctions, some FX , local content as dangote is now making serious financial commitments to technical training of indigenous talent, some PAYE tax, creating a potential working/middle class.

But to think it's some sort of charity or reduced cost of product is ridiculous, Nigerians should gear up to buy petrol products at international rates, i.e $1.50/litre, you're looking if the FX was well balanced at something around N700-1000/ltr

shoodboi2:
After all the noise. When you tell your fellow Nigerians that Dangote refinery is never a savior but is a problem by itself, they won't believe and will call you all sorts of names.

Everything about this refinery is a disaster. From lying about its completion to buying CBN's dollars at super-cheap rates to insisting on selling oil in dollars. The last time, Dangote was importing crude from the US to refine. Now, it's opening an office in London to trade the crude. Who will it pay taxes to? Nigeria? The UK?

Dangote never pays taxes, but if he does, he will give more to the UK.

And what is the effect of this madness of the naira? Is he not further dollarizing the naira or do we say, pounding it? Yep, he is pounding it, doggy style.

In the next few years, when the exchange rate begins going up again, the government will do nothing about him and will begin chasing crypto exchanges, AbokiFX, and Binance around.

The refinery was already in a free trade zone. Common man don't you understand some basic principles

Againstallodds:
This refinery is like a mirage. We have we have secured 5 million barrels of crude for refining and you expect to see dangote patrol in the next one week but one month will pass and not even a cup of refined product will be seen in the market

The refinery is a business not a charity.

immortalcrown:
Crude oil from the US, trading firm in London. I am waiting to see how these deals will make Dangote fuel cheap for Nigerians.

Fuel price will be considered cheap when it falls below 200 Naira per litre, just as Naira will be considered appreciated when it is less than 260 per dollar.

If Dangote refinery functions and fuel price becomes ₦500 or ₦400 per litre, only fools will say the refinery has made fuel cheap. I say this because fuel price was below ₦400 when some people started saying that the refinery will reduce the price.

If Tinubu's administration make Naira 300 per Dollar, only fools will say that Tinubu has improved the economy. I say this because Naira was below 300 per Dollar when Tinubu said the Dollar rate was too high.

You need to change your name to immortal clown with this your ororo analysis

Fuel can not fall below 200N per litre unless the prices of crude crashes below $23 per barrel the FX issue is resolved to 400-600 N/USD or the FGN reintroduce subsidy
